From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1132: Give Me Ten Wen (Second Update)

”Gou Dan be good, your second aunt will buy you some tomorrow, you take the little ones out to play first!” Mrs. Jin coaxed Gou Dan with a kind voice.

She really didn’t want to be near Gou Dan.

But Gou Dan is her nephew; if she didn’t act a bit affectionate, others would definitely suspect something.

”No, I want candy, I want candy...”

After saying that, Gou Dan hugged Mrs. Jin’s leg tightly.

In an instant, Mrs. Jin inhaled a sour odor, and she instinctively kicked Gou Dan.

Gou Dan was kicked to the ground and simply started rolling on the floor.

”Wah wah wah... Big Aunt hit me...”

Mrs. Jin was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Gou Dan would say that about her, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to handle the situation.

Mu Dade looked at Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu stood up. ”Gou Dan, what are you doing on the floor? Get up and go out!”

Gou Dan didn’t listen to Mr. Mu.

His eyes were fixated on the candy.

He noticed earlier that Yuanbao took five pieces, Xiao Han took three, but he got none!

”No, I want candy...”

No one in the Old Mu Family could outdo Yuanbao in whining; when he started, everyone in the room frowned at the noise.

Mr. Mu glanced at the villagers’ expressions, realizing he couldn’t let Gou Dan carry on like this.

He had no choice but to say, ”I’ll have your big aunt give you two copper coins, how about you go buy candy by yourself?”

Gou Dan’s crying lessened a bit upon hearing that, but he still cried.

Mrs. Jin straightforwardly said, ”Five copper coins, I’ll give you five, will you stop crying then?”

Five copper coins could buy five jujube cakes and five candy haws.

Gou Dan drooled but still refused.

”Ten copper coins, if it’s ten copper coins!”

Mrs. Jin nodded; she thought, right now, as long as she could get rid of Gou Dan, she would give him ten, even a hundred copper coins!

Mrs. Jin generously brought out the money!

Gou Dan took the money and left.

But the kids who didn’t get candy were still watching.

Mrs. Jin couldn’t act unfair in front of the whole village; she gritted her teeth and brought out another fifty copper coins.

Who could have known that the kids who initially took candy and left actually came back.

They heard from Gou Dan that the candies were worth ten copper coins, which could get them ten candy haws.

One by one, they came with candy to exchange for money.

Mrs. Jin almost bit through her molars but had to maintain a smile, even giving ten copper coins to those who came later.

By the end of this, Mrs. Jin lost over three hundred copper coins.

Some kids came multiple times, but what could be done; if she didn’t give them, they would cry and fuss.

After giving the money, Mrs. Jin’s mood hit rock bottom.

Yet, there were still so many people in the main room waiting for her to deal with; she had to smile—

Mu Shuangshuang had long gone out with the army of children.

Now, she was together with several children, laughing till their mouths almost twisted.

Yuanbao was the most daring of them, not only taking candy but also getting fifty copper coins.

It meant he went in five times, but no one would say anything about him.

Because all the villagers sitting there, their children took money too.

If Mu Shuangshuang guessed right, they must be thrilled in their hearts right now!

”Sister Shuangshuang, this money is for you, Yuanbao doesn’t want it!” Yuanbao handed all fifty copper coins to Mu Shuangshuang.

Xiao Han and Little Zhi too.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t refuse; she went back to her room and came back holding a small wooden box.

The wooden box had a lock, with a total of three keys; she first gave the keys to the three kiddos, and then said: ”The money you got is yours! This is a piggy bank, you can choose to put all your money in it.

The piggy bank will be kept by one person for a month, and when it’s full, you can use it to buy something all three of you want.”

Mu Shuangshuang often gave the kiddos some pocket money.

Sometimes, they spent it on snacks themselves.

Some saved it up themselves.

But copper coins are hard to hide, they accidentally disappear easily.

The three kiddos were thrilled, eagerly examining the wooden box back and forth.

Yuanbao was the first to put his fifty copper coins in, followed by Xiao Han, and then Little Zhi...

”Brother Yuanbao, let the piggy bank stay with you for a month first, then give it to Brother Xiao Han a month later, then to me!” Little Zhi said in a cute voice!

”Alright! Little Zhi, don’t worry, I won’t misuse the money anymore; I’ll save it all up!”

Mu Shuangshuang giving the three kiddos a piggy bank actually had her own intention.

The children are growing up, with more and more ideas.

But inevitably, conflicts and barriers will deepen.

Plus, Yuanbao, Xiao Han, and Little Zhi aren’t really siblings from the same mother, Mu Shuangshuang worried that Little Zhi and Xiao Han might treat Yuanbao as an outsider, or not treat him as their real brother.

So, cultivating a habit of sharing finances among them is best.

”Sister Shuangshuang, I have small copper coins saved at home, can I put them in too?” Yuanbao suddenly asked.

Xiao Han also said, ”Sister, I have money I want to put in too.”

”Little Zhi too, Little Zhi never had a piggy bank before...”

Mu Shuangshuang smiled, ”Of course you can, not just money, even your little secrets can be kept inside.

You three, aside from Dad and Mom, and me and Brother Yuan Feng, are the closest people to each other. No matter who bullies any one of you, the others must protect that person together.

If you encounter a hard nut to crack, then all three of you run together, and then come back to find Sister Shuangshuang and Brother Yuan Feng, understand?”

Yuanbao was the first to nod. ”Sister Shuangshuang, don’t worry, if anyone dares bully Little Zhi, I’ll twist their heads off and use them as balls to kick!”

”Sis, rest assured, I’ll protect Little Zhi and Yuanbao well!” Xiao Han said.

Looking at the harmonious scene among the three siblings, Mu Shuangshuang’s inner worries vanished.

She let the three kiddos go busy with their own things.

She then returned to her room, took out a brush, and started drawing a cartoon version of Garfield for Liu Chengzhi.

Since knowing Lu Yuanfeng was going to the barracks, Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t gone to the town for days.

She’s not worried about the inn’s business, but Liu Chengzhi had sent people to the inn multiple times.

Every time urging Mu Shuangshuang to draw Garfield.

No choice, Mu Shuangshuang had to draw a few pictures first to stabilize Liu Chengzhi’s mood.

Otherwise, being accused of breaking the bridge after crossing the river isn’t what she wants!

Mu Shuangshuang settled down and focused on drawing.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen were both doing training under the blazing sun outside.

During such hot weather, they couldn’t rest either, because fighting is never time-specific.

Once the bugle on the battlefield sounds, even if it’s midday or late at night, they must charge when needed!!!

At the Old Mu Family, a few of the leading figures from the village were left for the meal.

So, some good dishes must be prepared to treat the guests.
